Open hearted as a heart can be
'Cause we all a ruin like broken leaves
I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
Stitched together like pants and sleeves
I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
Danced to dust and dusk and
Strung along the highway
I found my way belligerent
Following the stars of your eyes
Oh, Promise me that you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
And if you take me inside
And you give me a place to hide and cry
I'll bathe you in the crystal light
That sleeps between my thighs
At times you fear the angle's sigh
To the lord and heavens that is aint right
But in this chalice you'll fine the wine
Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Oh, Promise me that you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Sprung from me when first we kissed
You held me quietly a rush purged me of my past
Opened a desert of diamonds vast glinting and a tiny chorus
Of swallows, swung open the door freed the caged bees
And wallows, swarm geometric patterns on the sun
Eclipse new moon
I tell my werewolf not to run
Tell my werewolf not to run
Oh, Promise me that you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Oh, Promise me that you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Oh promise me...
